Five junior staffers have followed former President Donald Trump from the White House to Florida to set up his personal office and plan his next moves.
The team is using a property at Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago club to get organized, said a former White House official who is familiar with the situation.
“It sounds a bit like a pool house,†he said.
Trump arrived in Florida on Wednesday with a small staff drawn from the junior ranks of the White House — similar to the way previous presidents adjusted to life after office.
Margo Martin, a White House press assistant who was a familiar sight at Trump press interactions cajoling journalists into (and then out of) the Oval Office or other locations, is handling communications.
The rest of the team includes Nick Luna, formerly the then-president’s body man (or personal assistant); Will Russell, director of the Trump White House advance team; Molly Michael, who worked as Oval Office coordinator; and Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to former chief of staff Mark Meadows.
